Cluiche Caointe - as part of the Hilary Pips Showcase 2021

Listen to this episode from DU Players -Podcasts, Radio Plays & Miscellaneous on Spotify. Cluiche Caointe explores the push and pull that comes with reconciling love, abuse, and grief in a short radio play about a young woman (Joan) who is preemptively grappling with the loss of an abusive parent. How do we cope with the love we feel for our abusers? How do we bear their loss? And how can we reconcile their human weakness with their monstrous behaviour?

Pitstop - as part of Hilary Pips 2021.

Listen to this episode from DU Players -Podcasts, Radio Plays & Miscellaneous on Spotify. Winnie has failed her driving test. Again. So, it looks like her flatmate, Diane, is going to be driving her around for a few months yet. At least, that’s what Winnie is counting on, until Diane announces that she’s moving in with her girlfriend in a month’s time and leaving Winnie behind. ‘Pitstop’ is a radio play charting this revelation and its explosive fallout, all from the comfort of the girls’ car, parked at the side of the road in West Cork. They laugh, they cry and they argue. But this is all just a pitstop and pitstops are a good thing, they’re important! Pitstops are for refueling, refreshing, repairing. They fix everything up so you can get back on the road again. Right? Pitstop is a radio play.
